In our first Film Club screening (18-25-year-olds) ………
In this chilling adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel, withdrawn and sensitive teen Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) faces taunting from classmates at school and abuse from her fanatically pious mother (Piper Laurie) at home. When strange occurrences start happening around Carrie, she begins to suspect that she has supernatural powers. Invited to the prom by the empathetic Tommy Ross (William Katt), Carrie tries to let her guard down, but things eventually take a dark and violent turn. ‘Carrie’ is a horrifying look at supernatural powers, high school cruelty, and teen angst - and it brings us one of the most memorable and disturbing prom scenes in history. Director De Palma went on to direct ‘Scarface,’ ‘The Untouchables’ and even the iconic Bruce Springsteen ‘Dancing in the Dark’ video.
